'''BGI''' is among the most diffuse entity in Oni, essentially because it was supposed to play a bigger part in the plot than it eventually did. | |||

===BGI HQ=== | |||
In a [[Lost Chapters|"Lost Chapter"]], the already rogue [[Konoko]] was supposed to raid the BGI's HQ. The raid involved blowing the whole place down, and fighting the [[Iron Demon]]. | |||

===Initials=== | |||
It's anybody's guess what the initials BGI stand for. Could be "Big Guns, Inc." ^^ | |||
===Status and role=== | |||
As can be inferred from Konoko's statements, BGI is some kind of "shadow front" : a big industrial consortium (probably multinational) that's pretty much legit, but is nevertheless suspected to deal with the infamous [[Syndicate]]. | |||
Whether it actually does and at what level and to what end is again sorta diffuse : is it opportunistic/mercenary, or is it subordinated to Muro? | |||
It's also not clear whether [[Griffin]]'s ambition to crack down on BGI is shared by the rest of the [[TCTF]] and [[WCG]]. | |||
There's a subtle balance of power between the WCG and the Syndicate, and both sides (especially the WCG) are interested in preserving it : BGI is an ambiguous organization, poised between WCG and Syndicate, halfway between legal and illegal. | |||
... | |||
It would seem to [[User:geyser|me]] that even as the core of Muro's Syndicate got corrupted by [[Muro]]'s [[megalomania]] and the [[STURMANDERUNG]] perspective, BGI managed to retain the spirit of the pre-Muro Network and Syndicate : they stayed focused on steady business, as opposed to maniacal violence and global biological terrorism. | |||
As long as it helps shuttle the Syndicate's contraband, BGI actually stabilizes the bipolar structure. The Syndicate keeps itself busy and feels in power; the TCTF get a chance to reinforce their credibility as crime-fighters. Same for weapons, and the insecurity they generate : conflict helps the WCG to constantly reestablish itself in the public's eyes as the only alternative to chaos. | |||
Naturally the people behind BGI would be aware of that stabilizing role, and it would actually be quite understandable that the prospect of an all-out crisis (collapse of WCG's authority, [[anarchy]] brought about by [[Muro]]) should keep them "doing the Devil's work" : obstinately promoting skirmish-scale violence looks like the only way to keep Oni's world together. | |||
